This Real type defines the absolute roughness of the inner surface of a pipe or fitting, i.e., the absolute average height of surface asperities. It has usually to be estimated. In [Idelchik 1994, pp. 105-109, Table 2-5; Miller 1990, p. 190, Table 8-1] many examples are given. As a short summary:
| Type of pipe | Roughness | |
| Smooth pipes | Drawn brass, copper, aluminium, glass, etc. | 0.0025 mm |
| Steel pipes | New smooth pipes | 0.025 mm |
| Mortar lined, average finish | 0.1 mm | |
| Heavy rust | 1 mm | |
| Concrete pipes | Steel forms, first class workmanship | 0.025 mm |
| Steel forms, average workmanship | 0.1 mm | |
| Block linings | 1 mm |
type Roughness = Modelica.Icons.TypeReal(final quantity = "Length", final unit = "m", displayUnit = "mm");


These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
When hbase.block.data.cachecompressed=true, DATA (and ENCODED_DATA) blocks are cached in the BlockCache in their on-disk format. This is different from the default behavior, which decompresses and decrypts a block before caching.
For a region server hosting more data than fits into cache, enabling this feature with SNAPPY compression results in 50% increase in throughput and 30% improvement in mean latency while increasing GC by 80% and increasing overall CPU load by 2%.
HFileTool now accepts configuration overrides in the usual way. Blockcache is disabled by default.
The HFileTool (hbase hfile
) can print block headers. The flag is -h,--printblockheaders.
Prior to HBase 0.98.7, if you have 0.94 tables named (data, archive, corrupt, lib, WALs, splitWAl, oldWALs) upgrading would "silently" fail, corrupting the state of those tables.
Prior to 0.98.0 if a user was not granted access to a column family or partial access (qualifier grants), then the AccessController would immediately throw back an AccessDeniedException. This behavior was changed in 0.98.0. Instead, scanners will return result sets only including cells for which the user has access. If the user has no permissions on any cell then the scanner will return the empty result set. Code expecting an AccessDeniedException if the user has no access may not function as intended.
This change introduces a configuration setting which restores the pre-0.98.0 behavior.
If you would prefer the new behavior, this can be configured globally via site configuration or per table using HTableDescriptor#setConfiguration. The setting is AccessControlConstants.CF_ATTRIBUTE_EARLY_OUT ("hbase.security.access.early_out"), a boolean. Set to "false" and scanners will return result sets only including cells for which the user has access without throwing an AccessDeniedException.
SecureBulkLoadEndPoint can be used in un-secure env to bulk load data without hitting "Permission denied" for hbase user.
The XML element used for the visibility labels in the REST API has been renamed from "label" lo "labels" in order to support old and the new versions of jackson.
Developers that use visibility labels via REST XML need to modify their applications in order to use the new XML element name.
VerifyReplicaiton reports the following counters besides the existing ones:
ONLY_IN_SOURCE_TABLE_ROWS: number of rows found only in source ONLY_IN_PEER_TABLE_ROWS: number of rows found only in peer CONTENT_DIFFERENT_ROWS: number of rows whose contents are different between source and peer
The RegexStringComparator comparator now include an optional EngineType constructor parameter. Use EngineType.JONI to select the joni regex engine, which can be twice as fast as the Java regex engine and will be more efficient, producing less object churn while scanning, because it operates natively on byte arrays. RegexStringComparator still uses the Java regex engine by default.
Adds jacoco plugin. Call it by defining argLine with necessary arguments. By default outputs to target dir.

| Transformation |
| Smart Move Component |
| ByronsPolyTools -Flag ... | ||
| LongName | ShortName | Description |
| -smartMoveComponent | -smc | - allows you to move your selection with the parameters of the BPTNode |
| LongName | ShortName | --Additional Flags-- |
| -slideNotLimited | -snl | - the slide parameter will work without its bounds (0 to 1) |
| Philosophy |
| Smart Split - like Behavior |
| When you select a single line of edges, the command will make it behave as if it was created by a Smart Split. As mentioned above, you can use every parameter on the BPT Node the move the selection. |
|
In this example, the slideRelative parameter is 1. In this case, the side parameter will flip the vectors along which the selected edges slide. This additionally helps to change the shape of the object. Please Note: The logical behavior when flipping the sides would be, that the slide parameter flips its behavior( i.e. 0 will have the same position as formerly 1 and vice versa), which would be quite useless, so I decided to make it behave like that, at least when slideRelative is 1. |
| Chamfer - like Behavior |
| When you select two stacked lines of edges, or a single line of faces, these components will behave as if they were created with the chamfer command. |
| Solid Chamfer - like Behavior |
| When you select three stacked lines of edges, or a two stacked lines of faces, these components will behave as if they were created with the solid chamfer command. |
| Complex Paths |
| With every one of the abilities mentioned above, you can also create complex paths, which may change directions. |

Use step mode when you want to set a TargetPosition
for the Stepper motor. Use run mode when you simply want the Stepper motor to rotate continuously in a specific direction.Changing the control mode will always set your VelocityLimit
to zero to prevent unexpected behaviour, so you should always set control mode before choosing your velocity limit.

English 102
This class is an introduction to the works of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

# Homo economicus
- Expected utility theory
- Probability weighting possible outcomes
- 25% shot at $10.00 or 75% at $5.00?
- Utility vs. value
???
The term homo economicus, or economic man, is a caricature of economic theory framed as a "mythical species" or word play on homo sapiens, and used in pedagogy.[1] It stands for a portrayal of humans as agents who are consistently rational and narrowly self-interested, and who usually pursue their subjectively-defined ends optimally.

# Counterexamples to “homo economicus”
1. When less is more and worse is better
2. Availability bias
3. Representativeness bias
4. Anchoring and adjustment bias
5. Certainty effect
6. Reflection effect
7. Isolation effect
---
# When less is more, the setup.
Assumptions of _homo economicus_ model:
- More is better, better is better
- What others get shouldn't matter
- What might have been shouldn't matter
---
# However...
Which one is worse, missing a flight by 5 minutes and watching it pull away from the gate without you, or missing that same flight by 30 minutes? (Kahneman & Tversky, 1982)
???
In both cases, the outcome is the same --- you miss the flight and have to take the next one or reschedule. What's different in the two cases?
Let's everyone try to think of an example where this has happened to you.

Counterfactuals, e.g. "but-for causation"
???
"We videotaped all of the National Broadcasting Company
(NBC) coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympic games in Barcelona,
Spain."
Just as a bit of a preview, this idea of counterfactual reasoning plays a large part on our judgments of causality. In fact, in law there is a concept of "but-for causality", which uses counterfactual reasoning explicitly, asking whether it's true that but for the action, the result would not have happened. (For example, but for running the red light, the collision would not have occurred.)

# Availability bias
- Computing expected utility requires estimating probability
- The availability heuristic biases estimates of probability
???
Activity: spend a couple minutes thinking of some examples where the availability of something makes it seem more probable, and where the unavailability of something makes it seem less probable.
---
# Representativeness bias
- Computing expected utility requires estimating probability
- The representativeness bias affects estimates of probability (base-rate neglect)
???
---
# Representativeness bias, an example
A group of police officers have breathalyzers displaying false drunkenness in 5% of the cases in which the driver is sober. However, the breathalyzers never fail to detect a truly drunk person. One in a thousand drivers is driving drunk. Suppose the police officers then stop a driver at random, and force the driver to take a breathalyzer test. It indicates that the driver is drunk. We assume you don't know anything else about him or her. How high is the probability the driver is really is drunk?
???
Many answer as high as 95%, correct answer is around ~2%.
---
# Anchoring and adjustment bias
- Computing expected utility requires estimating value
- The initial values considered bias (anchor) those estimates
???
Most famous examples are:
- 1 x 2 x 3 ... vs. 9 x 8 x 7 ...
- Estimating everyday quantities with a hint.
Activity: think of a value that you believe the group

# Choice problems

# The certainty effect
???
Notice that the bottom row is the same as having a 25% of the top row, yet the preferences reverse.
---
# More certainty effect
???
In these problems, expected utility theory says the two options are equally good. But in reality, when there's a substantial chance of winning, people pick the more certain outcome, but when there's a miniscule chance of winning, they go for the riskier option with the bigger possible gain.
---
# The reflection effect
???
- Risk aversion for gains, risk seeking for losses
- Outcomes with certainty are overweighted relative to uncertain cases in both directions
---
# The isolation effect
???
"In order to simplify the choice between alternatives, people often disregard
components that the alternatives share, and focus on the components that
distinguish them" (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979)
Note that this is exactly like problems 3 and 4 earlier, depending on whether you include the intro or not.

BSD 4
NAME
resolver - DNS clientSYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.confDESCRIPTION
The resolver is the DNS client used on most Linux and BSD systems. It comes with glibc. Its configuration file /etc/resolv.conf (note the spelling) determines the DNS servers to use, and various other options - see below.Almost all machines have a DNS server set up in this file - if it doesn't exist, the system will assume there's a DNS server running on the local machine, and work out the search path from the machines domain name.
The config file is read the first time the DNS client is invoked by a process.
The different configuration options are:
- nameserver
-
IP address of a DNS server to use. Multiple name servers may be listed, each on their own line. The
resolver
will use them in order listed - if the first server times out answering the query, the next server will be tried, and so on. If the
resolver
runs out out of name servers, the first server will be queried again, until a maximum number of retries are made.
The maximum number of DNS servers to use is set by MAXNS (see <resolv.h> )
- search
-
Domain(s) to use for DNS lookups when no domain is specified. List each domain
following the
search
keyword with spaces or tabs between them. Each possible domain will be checked in order until a match is found. Note that this process may be slow (queries will time out if no server is available for a domain) and will generate a lot of network traffic if the servers for the listed domains aren't local.
The search list is currently limited to six domains with a total of 256 characters. If search isn't specified, the search list will be determined from the local domain name (whatever comes after the first dot). If the host name doesn't contain a domain, the root domain is used.
By default, it search contains only the local domain name.
- domain
-
Local domain name. You can use this instead of the
search
option to specify a single domain to check if a hostname isn't specified. Most people just use
search
instead (that option lets you use multiple servers,
domain
doesn't). You can't use
domain
and
search
at the same time - they're mutually exclusive.
If domain isn't specified, the domain will be determined from the local domain name (whatever comes after the first dot). If the host name doesn't contain a domain, the root domain is used.
- sortlist
-
Sorts addresses returned by the
gethostbyname
system call.
A
sortlist
is specified by IP address netmask pairs. The netmask is
optional and defaults to the natural netmask of the net. The IP address
and optional network pairs are separated by slashes. Up to 10 pairs may
be specified. For example:
sortlist <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
- options
-
Allows certain internal
resolver
variables to be modified.
The syntax is
where
option
is one of the following:
- debug
- sets RES_DEBUG in Ft _res.options .
- ndots: n
- sets a threshold for the number of dots which must appear in a name given to Fn res_query (see resolver(3)) before an initial absolute query will be made. The default for n is ``1 , '' meaning that if there are any dots in a name, the name will be tried first as an absolute name before any search list elements are appended to it.
- timeout: n
- sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a response from a remote name server before retrying the query via a different name server. Measured in seconds, the default is RES_TIMEOUT (see <resolv.h> ).
- attempts: n
- sets the number of times the resolver will send a query to its name servers before giving up and returning an error to the calling application. The default is RES_DFLRETRY (see <resolv.h> ).
- rotate
- sets RES_ROTATE in Ft _res.options , which causes round robin selection of nameservers from among those listed. This has the effect of spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.
- no-check-names
- sets RES_NOCHECKNAME in Ft _res.options , which disables the modern BIND checking of incoming host names and mail names for invalid characters such as underscore (_), non-ASCII, or control characters.
- inet6
- sets RES_USE_INET6 in Ft _res.options . This has the effect of trying a AAAA query before an A query inside the Ft gethostbyname function, and of mapping IPv4 responses in IPv6 ``tunnelled form'' if no AAAA records are found but an A record set exists.
- ip6-dotint / no-ip6-dotint
- sets / clears the RES_NOIP6DOTINT bit in Ft _res.options , which when set (ip6-dotint) will enable reverse IPv6 lookups to be made in the (deprecated) ip6.int zone; when clear (no-ip6-dotint), reverse IPv6 lookups are made in the ip6.arpa zone by default.
- ip6-bytestring
- sets RES_USEBSTRING in Ft _res.options . This causes reverse IPv6 lookups to be made using the bit-label format of RFC 2673; if not set, then nibble format is used.
The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more than one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins.
The search keyword of a system's resolv.conf file can be overridden on a per-process basis by setting the environment variable ``LOCALDOMAIN '' to a space-separated list of search domains.
The options keyword of a system's resolv.conf file can be amended on a per-process basis by setting the environment variable ``RES_OPTIONS to a space-separated list of '' resolver options as explained above under options
The keyword and value must appear on a single line, and the keyword (e.g., nameserver ) must start the line. The value follows the keyword, separated by white space.

Turbot makes a luxurious dinner party centrepiece for a special occasion. This hollandaise-style sauce is the perfect accompaniment.
Preheat the oven to 220C/200 Fan/Gas 7
Gut, scale and remove the fins from the whole turbot. Rinse and pat dry on a piece of kitchen paper.
Melt 60g/2¼oz of the butter in a small saucepan and gently cook the vegetables for about 4 minutes, adding the white wine halfway through. Season with the salt and pepper and leave to cool a little. Stuff the cavity of the fish with most of the vegetables, leaving some to rest the turbot on when you roast it.
Butter the turbot with the remaining 30g/1oz of butter. Season well with salt and pepper and place the whole fish in a roasting tin with some of the vegetables underneath. Cook in the centre of the oven for about 30 minutes. Test whether the fish is cooked by cutting down on to the backbone at the thickest part and checking that the flesh has turned white right through.
For the sauce, put the chopped onions, vinegar, white wine and fish stock in a small pan, and boil until all but a couple of spoonfuls have evaporated. Add the butter, then the sorrel and spinach and cook for a minute soften. Put the egg yolks into a blender. With the blender running, pour the contents of the pan through the small hole in the lid. Season and pour the mixture through a sieve into a warm sauce boat.
When the turbot is cooked, transfer to a serving dish, garnish with sorrel, and fillet it at the table, giving each person some of the roasted vegetables from under the fish as well as the vegetable stuffing. Serve with the sorrel sauce.


DynamicRegion
Overview
The purpose of the dynamicRegion.t extension is to enable the definition of Regions (of the DynamicRegion class) that can be expanded or contracted during the course of a game (a normal Region is fixed and can't be changed). This ability comes with certain restrictions, however.
New Classes, Objects and Properties
In addition to a number of properties intended purely for internal use, this extension defines the following new class and properties:
- New Class: DynamicRegion
- Properties/Methods: expandRegion(), contractRegion(), isCurrentlyWithin(), extraAdjustments().
Usage
Include the dynamicRegion.t file after the library files but before your game source files..
With certain restrictions (to be described further below) you can use a DynamicRegion in the same way as a normal Region, with the addition of the following methods:
- expandRegion(rm): Adds rm to the rooms in this DynamicRegion, where rm may be a single room, a list of room, or a list of rooms and/or regions.
- contractRegion(rm): Removes rm from the rooms in this DynamicRegion, where rm may be a single room, a list of room, or a list of rooms and/or regions.
- isCurrentlyWithin(region): returns true if and only if all our rooms are also in region; note that this extension also adds this method to the base Region class.
- extraAdjustments(rm, expanded): Carry out any additional adjustments that need to be made as side-effects to adding or removing rooms. By default we do nothing here but game code can override as necessary. The rm parameter is the list of rooms and/or regions that have just been added to (if expanded is true) or removed from (if expanded is nil) this DynamicRegion.
To create a Dynamic SenseRegion, just define an object as being of both the DynamicRegion and the SenseRegion class, but note that the DynamicRegion class must then be listed first in such a definition, for example:
myDynamicSenseRegion: DynamicRegion, SenseRegion ;
Restrictions and Workarounds
Since a DynamicRegion may gain or lose rooms, it cannot be in any permanent relation with any other Regions. In particular this means:
- A DynamicRegion cannot be part of (located in) any other Region.
- No other Region can be part of (located in) a DynamicRegion.
This does not prevent your defining a DynamicRegion as part of the contents of another Region, or another Region as part of the contents of a DynamicRegion (for example, through its expandRegion(rm, expanded) method), but these are just shorthand ways of listing the contents (i.e. list of rooms) of the enclosed Region/DynamicRegion in the enclosing DynamicRegion/Region as part of the initial contents of the enclosing Region. It does not set up any relation between the Regions themselves.
For example, suppose we have a DynamicRegion X that initially starts out containing rooms A, B and C and we define it to be part of a larger region Y that also contains Rooms D, E and F. If we later added Room G to X and took away room C from X, would we also have to change region Y so that it now contained Rooms A, B, D, E, F, G? But then what if Region Y also contained Region Z that started out overlapping with Region X so that Region Z also contained Room C? Shouldn't Room C then be retained in Region Y even when it's removed from Region X?
If this sounds a bit complicated and confusing, that's because it is; once changes to one region are allowed to cause changes to other regions, it's both unclear what ought to happen and horribly complex to keep track of. For that reason it seems better to keep things reasonably simple and not allow a DynamicRegion to contain or be contained by any other Region. Of course a DynamicRegion could happen to contain rooms that are all in some other Region as well, but we don't count this as the DynamicRegion being in the other Region since there's no guarantee that this relation will continue to hold. We can, however, test for temporary containment with the isCurrentlyWithin(region) method; X.isCurrentlyWithin(Y) returns true if all the rooms in X are also in Y.
But note the distinction. If X is a DynamicRegion that contains rooms A, B and C, while Y is some other Region that contains rooms A, B, C, D and E, although X.isCurrentlyIn(Y) will then be true, X.isIn(Y) will be nil (i.e. false), since there is no intrinsic relation between the Regions X and Y.
Additionally, DynamicRegions don't do the following:
- If the initial location of a MultiLoc is defined as being a DynamicRegion, adding or subtracting rooms to or from the DynamicRegion does not change the location of the MultiLoc.
- If a DynamicRegion is defined as being familiar, changing its list of rooms doesn't make the added rooms familiar if they weren't before or unfamiliar if they were before.
These limitations are there partly because it would be too complex to keep track of all such cases, and partly because each game's requirements may be different in every particular case. However, in game code it may be relatively straightforward to work round these limitations provided it's clear what's wanted. To help with this, the DynamicRegion class defines the extraAdjustments() method which is executed at the end of any call to expandRegion() or contractRegion(). By default it does nothing, and is thus available to be overridden to do whatever might be needed.
For example, suppose we had an overcastArea DynamicRegion that can expand or shrink, and that a MultiLoc clouds object should be present in every room of that DynamicRegion at all times. Initially we might define:
clouds: MultiLoc, Distant 'clouds; dark grey;;them' "Dark grey clouds cover the sky. " locationList = [overcastArea] ;
This is fine for defining the initial locations of the clouds object, but these need to be updated when overcastArea gains or loses rooms. To achieve this we can use its extraAdjustments() method to recalculate where the clouds object should be when the overcastArea grows or shrinks:
overcastArea: DynamicRegion
extraAdjustments(rm, expanded)
{
/* Re-initialize clouds' location list */
clouds.moveInto(nil);
clouds.moveIntoLocations();
}
;
We could use a similar technique for making one DynamicRegion expand or contract in line with another. Suppose, for example, that we have a forestRegion and a meadowRegion next to each other, such that one shrinks if the other grows (as trees are cut down or planted). We could then make the meadowRegion automatically grow or shrink as the forestRegion shrinks or grows:
meadowRegion: DynamicRegion ; forestRegion: DynamicRegion extraAdjustments(rm, expanded) { if(expanded) meadowRegion.contractRegion(rm); else meadowRegion.expandRegion(rm); } ;
Alternatively, if the meadowRegion were notionally part of an outdoorRegion, we might want both to expand or contract together:
meadowRegion: DynamicRegion extraAdjustments(rm, expanded) { if(expanded) outdoorRegion.expandRegion(rm); else outdoorRegion.contractRegion(rm); } ; outdoorRegion: DynamicRegion ;
As can be seen from these examples, such things are quite easy to arrange in game code on a case by case basis, but would be almost impossible to provide for in library code, since it would become at best horribly cumbersome for library code to attempt to cater for all the possibilities that game authors might want.

Submit your code to project
Learning outcomes -- Edited by Tom Zhou on June 1st
----About half of the things that we learned today are referred to the chapter one of the book "How to think like a computer scientist". To find out more,
click me to see that chapter.
WikiSpace is the place where you show the result of your study, works, projects and activities. Everyone in our class can be the editor, and your efforts will make it more diverse and appealing to others.
To be a good computer scientist, you should:
- Be able to solve problems
- Be able to solve problems creatively
- Be able to denote your thoughts using formal languages
Also we should be aware of the term "open source", which means that the code of the programes is published to all programmers in the world and you can change any part of it if you want. A significant benefit of open source is that others will not only have the chance of learning your code and algorithms, but also they can improve it bit by bit. In the class, we had better share our resources and workings in order to improve our abilities together.
The key things we learned today of programming may include:
--Introduction to Python as a programming language
--Definition of debugging and three errors that may occur
--Simple grammars involved in Python programming
--Some useful functions and modules in Python
As beginners, we should know that Python is an interpreted language. It is interpreted line by line, to a language that computers can understand and it runs immediately. By comparison, compiled languages such as VB and C++ will be only translated as a whole and it will not run right after translation.
There are three general types of errors that may occur during debugging. The first one is called “Syntax error”, which is resulted from incorrect notations or grammar. For example:
print "This is a great example"
If you execute the program, it is very likely to return an error simply because you missed the parentheses. The correct format should be:
print ("This is the correct format")
Also please notice that the uppercase letters are very DIFFERENT from lowercase letters. Your Python interpreter will not recognize them if you type the word "Print" rather than the word "print".
The second type of errors are runtime errors. Their typical examples are the inappropriate operations between data types. For instance:
a = "Tom"
b = 2
print (a+b)
You cannot add a string and a number together, otherwise what would you get? If you really want to do the "addition", there is a solution:
a = "Tom"
b = "2"
print (a+b)
What you will get is a combination of two strings, in their sequence of addition, which is "Tom2".
Besides, if you would like to add a number with a "string number" (a string which contains ONLY numbers), there is a way to do it:
a = "100"
b = 133
print (int(a) + 133)
You will get 233 as a result obviously. I have also discovered that "int()" can convert a decimal number to a whole number, throwing its decimal place away. For example, the result of both int(1.4) and int(1.6) are 1.
The third type of errors are called semantic errors. They are very hard to detect and fix, at least the Python interpreter will not return an error. You will not get an ideal result or a correct result. From what I have learned today and my early programming experience, semantic errors maybe caused by mistaking the open interval and closed interval, incorrect exit condition of repetition, neglect of resetting variables and deficiency in algorithms. For simplification, I will only show the example that our teacher gave in class.
Result = 0
for i in range (1,10):
Result = Result + i
print (Result)
This is the program ideally designed to sum up integers from 1 to 10 and get the result. However, the programmer forgot that the number on the right side of the comma in the parenthesis should be the closed interval, so the i will stop increasing when it reaches 9. As the result he will get 45 instead of 55.
Other details of Python that we have come across today:
Problems of quotation marks: There are three kinds of quotation marks that are used to hold strings. They are single quotation mark, double quotation marks and triple quotation marks. They have no difference normally, but you may need to use them wisely when you come across a situation in which quotation marks within the quotation marks are necessary. For instance:
print ('''"Tom is tricky", Doris said''')
It will not be a problem as you use only one quotation mark rather than a pair of quotation marks. Use apostrophe as an example:
print ("Tom's hair style looks cool")
When you type the apostrophe, you are actually typing a quotation mark. You can try it out in Python shell and see if it will affect the result or not.
You can actually use any combination of any two kinds of quotation marks when you need them, and you can even use them all.
Unlike some other programming languages such as VB or C++, you do not need to declare the data types of variables before using them in Python. In addition, the data types of variables can be altered during operations, as you may assign a different type of data to it. For example:
a = "Nice day today"
a = 666
print (a)
The original data type of the variable "a" is string, then it is changed to integer. The final output of the program is the integer 666.
You can think of more if you can recall from the class or if you want. :)

THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE A film review by Andrew Abramson Copyright 1995 Andrew Abramson
On September 26, 1969, the most annoying TV theme song of all times aired. The theme song to the Brady Bunch. The show was sure to be a bomb. Who would have known, that twenty-five years and five months later, the show would still be going strong, and a movie would be made. Yes the Brady Bunch remained on the air for five years, and did great on syndication, and finally a movie was made. The movie was up to date for the rest of the world, but it was still the same old Bradys. The movie took place in 1995. All of Califorina had evolved into the 90's, except for the Bradies who still wore bellbottoms, and listened to Davy Jones on 8-Track. It was funny to see to see the rest of the world, react to this time-warped family. The family was as great as the television family. Shelly Long played Florence Henderson's old role as Carol, and Gary Cole played Robert Reed's old role as Mike.
Much of the humor in the movie, was seeing the rivalry between the middle-child Jan, and the oldest-child Marsha. Marsha has all the glamour, and everyone loves Marsha, and Marsha this, Marsha that. As for Jan, she thinks that she is left out because everyone thinks Cindy (the youngest) is so cute, and Marsha is so beautiful.
Many of the scenes from the movie, are taken from actual episodes, just updated. The movie makes fun at the episodes, and exaggerates them extremely. Some of the best parts in the movie, is seeing Marsha say how beautiful she is, and Jan's "voices" in her head. Watch for Cindy's lisp, and Greg's "far-out, groovy" music.
The movie also revolves around an interesting plot. The man next door has to sell every house in the neighborhood, so he has to somehow, stop the Bradies from earning 20,000 dollars.
Watch for some cameo appearances by the original Carol, Peter, and of course, who could forget maid Alice. If you watched the orignal TV series, and enjoy humor, this is the movie for you!!

Kosovo 0-4 England player ratings: Harry Winks impresses as Three Lions romp to victory
England secured top spot in Group A of Euro 2020 qualifying as they ran out victorious in their first-ever visit to Pristina to face Kosovo
by John Cross, https://www.facebook.com/johncrossmirror/England produced a professional away performance in Kosovo to ensure top spot in their Euro 2020 qualifying group.
Winks opened the scoring on the half hour mark, slotting home a perfectly-crafted team move for his first international goal.
But it was far from vintage from England, regularly being caught out by the Kosovan counter attack and forcing Nick Pope into a busier afternoon than initially hoped.
But England rallied and Harry Kane was not going to pass up a gift presented to him in the closing stages, cushioning the ball home on the half-volley to double the advantage.
Marcus Rashford then wrapped up proceedings for sure, with time for Mason Mount to add a fourth.
Here is how John Cross, our man in Pristina, rated and slated the performances...
England ratings
Pope 7
His first start and competitive game as Burnley keeper now seems to be No2.
Alexander-Arnold 7
Had to stay back as little chance to get forward, but looked nice and solid.
Maguire 7
Made some good marauding runs forward. He’s well established as No1 centre half.
Mings 7
So commanding in every sense - dominated with his size and strength. Excellent.
Chilwell 7
Not quite as spectacular as Thursday, but still very good both in attack and getting forward.
Rice 6
Might be Rice or Winks, but did well defensively late on. Solid rather than spectacular.
Winks 8 MOTM
Pushed further forward but seized the opportunity to bag his first England goal.
Oxlade-Chamberlain 7
Troubled by an early slip, he recovered and put in another excellent Euros audition.
Sterling 7
Not a hint of a hangover from last week. Provided two assists. Excellent.
Hudson-Odoi 6
Wasteful in possession, kept giving the ball away and not making use of it.
Kane 7
Worked hard for the team and got rewarded by extending his remarkable scoring run.
Substitutes
Rashford, for Hudson-Odoi, 59 mins, 7
Mount, for Oxlade-Chamberlain, 73 mins
Tomori, for Alexander-Arnold, 84 mins
Kosovo ratings
Muric 6, Vojvoda 6, Rrahmani 6, Aliti 6, Kololli 7, Rashica 6, Dresevic 6, V Berisha 5 (Halimi, 65, 6), Hadergjonaj 5 (Zhegrova, 73), Celina 6, Nuhiu 6 (Rashani, 82).

The Captain. How can you properly describe 3000 feet of beautiful granite loaded with awesome routes? El Cap is probably the most recognized chunk of rock in the world to rock climbers. Climbers come from across the globe to challenge themselves on the 3000 foot walls of El Capitan. It's an awe-inspiring thing that first time you go to the Valley and stand at the base of El Cap, looking up. So much rock, so little time...

G_beta
Heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein subunits that tightly associate with GTP-BINDING PROTEIN GAMMA SUBUNITS. A dimer of beta and gamma subunits is formed when the GTP-BINDING PROTEIN ALPHA SUBUNIT dissociates from the GTP-binding protein heterotrimeric complex. The beta-gamma dimer can play an important role in signal transduction by interacting with a variety of second messengers.

Olympics
Olympics are the international level sports event where players from all over the world meet at a place and compete in various sports. All the players give their best and even participating and getting qualified for Olympics requires a lot of investment of sweat and blood.
Olympics Symbols:
Olympics Motto:
As the official motto of the Olympic Games, Coubertin adopted “Citius, altius, fortius,” Latin for “Faster, higher, stronger,”Olympics Flag:
In the stadium and its immediate surroundings, the Olympic flag is flown freely together with the flags of the participating countries. It has a white background, and in the center, there are five interlaced rings—blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The blue ring is farthest left, nearest the pole. These rings represent the “five parts of the world” joined together in the Olympic movement. Here 5 colors represent 5 continents of the world neglecting Antarctica and considering North and South America as one.- Blue ring represents Europe
- Yellow ring represents Asia
- Black ring represents Africa
- Green ring represents Australia
- Red ring represents America (North and South)
The flame and torch relay:
The Olympic flame is a symbol used in the Olympic movement. It is also a symbol of continuity between ancient and modern games. The Olympic flame is a symbol used in the Olympic movement. It is also a symbol of continuity between ancient and modern games.The relay is now one of the most splendid and cherished of all Olympic rituals; it emphasizes not only the ancient source of the Olympics but also the internationalism of the modern Games. The flame is now recognized everywhere as an emotionally charged symbol of peace.
Olympics Mascot:
Each edition of the Olympic Games has had its own distinctive mascot, sometimes more than one. Typically, the mascot is derived from characters or animals especially associated with the host country.Olympics 2020
Official Website of Tokyo Olympics 2020
This event was supposed to be organizes in the year 2020 but due to SARS-CoV-2 i.e., Novel Coronavirus pandemic this event was postponed. Now in 2021 also this event was held with following proper safety guidelines. This year the event was organized at Tokyo
The mascot of this season of event was MIRAITOWA. The name MIRAITOWA is based on the Japanese words "mirai", meaning “future”, and "towa", meaning “eternity”, representing the wish that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will lead to a future of everlasting hope in the hearts of everyone around the world. MIRAITOWA is cheerful and remarkably athletic, with a very strong sense of integrity. It has a special power to instantly teleport anywhere it wants.
There are 206 countries competing in Tokyo with over 11,000 athletes representing them fighting in 33 different sports.
India at Olympics
History
Indian athletes have won 35 medals, all at the Summer Games. For a period of time, India national field hockey team was dominant in Olympic competition, winning eleven medals in twelve Olympics between 1928 and 1980. The run included 8 gold medals in total and six successive gold medals from 1928–1956
The nation sent its largest-ever contingent of 124 competitors to the 2020 Games. To date, the 2020 Summer Olympics are the most successful Games for India since its first regular Olympics appearance in 1920, with Indian Olympians winning 7 medals (1 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze).
India Participated with 128 athletes in 18 sports fighting in 69 events
In the men's javelin throw, Neeraj Chopra won India's first-ever gold medal in athletics, the nation's second ever individual gold and first individual gold since 2008. P. V. Sindhu won a bronze in women's badminton to became the first Indian female athlete and second Indian to win two consecutive Olympic medals for individual events while the Men's national field hockey team won the bronze medal, their first Olympic medal since 1980.Meerabai Chanu had bagged silver in 49kg weight-lifting and Lovlina borgohain had bagged a bronze medal in Women.Ravi Dhaiya has won a silver medal in 57kg wrestling .The men's 4 x 400m relay team set a new Asian record of 3:00:25. Aditi Ashok in women's golf and Deepak Punia in men's freestyle wrestling (86 kg) both placed fourth in final rankings, as did the women's national field hockey team, which achieved its best performance since its Olympics debut in 1980.Medal Winners
Indian athletes bagged 7 medals that included 1 Gold,2 Silver and 3 Bronze
Heart Winners
There were some athletes who somehow were not able to get medals but ended up winning hearts of millions by their performance.
Such athletes are
Dream of Mary Kom to retire by winning a Medal for country was left incomplete after she lost in the pre-quarterfinals of 51kg Women's individual boxing. Mary Kom is the only female boxer in the world to win World Amateur Boxing Championship for record 6 Times.
Aditi Ashok lagged behind 2 goals to win a gold and one goal to win either silver or bronze, but she was the first Indian golfer who achieved 4th position in this sport. Her current world ranking is 200th thus no one even expected her to finish the game with a zeal.
Chadalavada Anandha Sundhararaman Bhavani Devi, proudly known as C. A Bhavani Devi is the first ever Indian Fencer to qualify for Olympics.She had even won her first match but lost in the next round. She had won many medals for the country in various other International tournaments
Indian Women's field hockey team despite of losing the medal had won the hearts of all the Indians because they not only reached to the semi-finals for the first time but also glorified the national sport of India in the whole world.
She is the first woman to cross the 65m barrier in discuss throw.
She finished at the 6th position at the Tokyo Olympics.
She finished her debut Olympic event in an impressive way.
In his debut Olympics season he lost the semi-finals due to technical glitch. The bronze medal slipped from his hands in the final 10 seconds of the bout. He is the only Indian wrestler to win 3 medals at the World Wrestling Championships.
Names mentioned here are less but each and every player who even qualified for this event had made the country proud and because of such athletes this season of Olympics was the best season of Olympics for India
Gratitude
As the splendid season of Olympics ended each and every Indian is extremely grateful and thankful of all the players who represented Indians in each and every game. These games provoked the feeling of pride in the heart of each and every Indian. This season was definitely the best season for India in Olympics.
Each player is a deserves thanks and all those players who had achieved medals for India are the real source of inspiration of every sports aspirant. India is now prepared to support its athletes with more enthusiasm in next Olympics that will be organized in Paris in the year 2024.

A LIFE LESS ORDINARY
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 6.5 Alternative Scale: **1/2 out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 10/24/97 (wide) Running Length: 1:42 MPAA Classification: R (Profanity, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Cameron Diaz, Holly Hunter, Delroy Lindo, Ian Holm, Dan Hedaya, Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Ian McNeice, Maury Chaykin Director: Danny Boyle Producer: Kevin MacDonald Screenplay: John Hodge Cinematography: Brian Tufano Music: David Arnold U.S. Distributor: 20th Century Fox
A LIFE LESS ORDINARY, the latest collaboration from the TRAINSPOTTING/SHALLOW GRAVE team (director Danny Boyle, writer John Hodge, producer Kevin MacDonald, and star Ewan McGregor), is a movie less ordinary. And that's part of its problem. The film is so focused on being quirky and unusual that it turns into a cliché of everything offbeat. From start to finish, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY feels like a group of sometimes amusing, sometimes clever, and sometimes tedious skits forced to fit together.
The film is part romantic comedy, part caper movie, and part road movie. In fact, it's a lot like TRUE ROMANCE with the violence toned down. Or, if you prefer, EXCESS BAGGAGE meets RAISING ARIZONA. Still, while there's a lot to admire about A LIFE LESS ORDINARY, chief of which is its daring, I found myself sitting through the film thinking that I should have been getting more out of it -- I wasn't laughing hard enough at the comic bits, gripping the seat arms tightly enough during the exciting parts, or smiling enough during the idiosyncratic sequences. Frankly, although I admire the craft that Boyle displays in his first studio effort (which is much like the technique he previously showed in SHALLOW GRAVE and TRAINSPOTTING), the film left me cool and strangely dissatisfied.
The film starts off in Boyle's satiric version of heaven, where everything is gloriously white, but God has decided to execute some new corporate strategies. It seems that the angels haven't been doing their jobs very well when it comes to bringing men and women together for lifelong commitments, so, using Gabriel (Dan Hedaya) as the bearer of bad tidings, the Big Man decides to implement a few new "incentive schemes." The first pair to work under these conditions are O'Reilly (Holly Hunter) and Jackson (Delroy Lindo), who are sent to Earth to bring together a janitor named Robert (Ewan McGregor) and a spoiled heiress named Celine (Cameron Diaz). If they fail, they stay in permanent exile. That's the incentive.
As things develop, Robert and Celine meet when he kidnaps her as a form of revenge against her father (Ian Holm), who fired him. But Robert, an all-around nice guy who is in over his head, doesn't have a clue what to do with a hostage, and Celine, who starts out giving him lessons in "Kidnapping 101", ends up running the show. Of course, as time passes, we recognize that their heated arguments are hiding a deeper, more lasting emotion. Meanwhile, O'Reilly and Jackson, desperate to get back to heaven, show up as a couple of bounty hunters who begin to get ideas that, if they're stuck on Earth, maybe stealing the ransom might be a good way to spend their permanent exile in style.
Boyle has tried his hardest to fashion a romantic comedy that doesn't follow the expected formulas. "No cliches!" Robert screams at one point, and this seems to be the director's philosophy. Ironically, by swinging the pendulum so far into the realm of the absurd and violent, Boyle has stumbled into Tarantino/Coen Brothers territory, and, seen through the prism of all the copycat features that have sprung up in this area, huge chunks of A LIFE LESS ORDINARY seem like a retread. At least the ending, which is done using clay animation, is refreshingly unexpected.
The film is arguably most successful as a comedy. Several scenes, including one in a phone booth where Celine gives Robert lessons on how to demand a ransom, are funny. Boyle has always had a penchant for dark humor, and it's perhaps more evident here than in either SHALLOW GRAVE or TRAINSPOTTING. As a romance, however, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY is dead in the water. Cameron Diaz is a blast as Celine, the platinum-blonde queen of bad fashion and a worse attitude, but McGregor is barely interesting as the meek Robert. Together, these two generate no chemistry. There's more heat between O'Reilly and Jackson. And, speaking of the angels, Hunter and Lindo do fine, intentionally over- the-top jobs as these two.  Maybe she's the reason I thought of RAISING ARIZONA.
The supporting cast is populated by an interesting group of performers. In fact, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY features a mini-BIG NIGHT reunion, with Ian Holm, Stanley Tucci (as a dentist wooing Celine), and Tony Shalhoub (as a sympathetic bartender) all making appearances. Atom Egoyan favorite Maury Chaykin, who is rarely in a "normal" movie, has a part as a backwoodsman who is curious about Robert and Celine's activities in an abandoned cabin near his home. And Dan Hedaya plays the archangel Gabriel like a grumbling, put-upon representative of middle-management.
When it comes to love stories, no matter how lavishly they're adorned with auxiliary elements, I'd rather see a worn-out story with characters who really connect than something eccentric with a leading pair who are poles apart. Sadly, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY is the latter. However, while it's not the most successful romance, the movie does contain enough elements of interest to intrigue, if not always involve, the viewer. A LIFE LESS ORDINARY is fun -- it's just less fun and more familiar than I had expected.

Command name contains ==. For comparison, use [ "$var" = value ].
$a/$b==foo/bar
[ "$a/$b" = "foo/bar" ]
ShellCheck found a command name that contains a ==
. Most likely, this was intended as a kind of comparison.
To compare two values, use [ value1 = value2 ]
. Both the brackets and the spaces around the =
are relevant.
None, though you can quote the ==
to suppress the warning.

fun preferLarge(): ItemSetTieBreaker
Adds an additional criteria to the current tie-breaking strategy, which prefers large item sets over small ones. I.e., if an item set contains more items than its counterpart, it is sorted before the other one.


I mess with data, and occasionally make websites..
But most of all I love talking about all this
Backed by the IMDB movies dataset and powered by R, Python and D3.js, this interactive visualization helps drill down to great movies of any genre or era.
My team's entry for Hackamon 2019, Recomon is a prototype for a cutting-edge intuitive course selection app that allows the user to keep their career goals and aims in mind while selecting their university courses.
This article will show you how to add a Python + Pandas script to your NodeJS web app, and then deploy the app to Heroku. This could be a great starting point for developing rich, fast and asynchronous web applications that are also equipped with the data capabilites brought by Python and it's libraries...
I'm an IT geek who'se been in the business for over 10 years. I love two things: programming, and challenging myself! I keep trying to keep my brain occupied (an idle mind is the Devils workshop!) and I do this by trying to make cool things!
I currently study Data Science at Monash University, where I'm upgrading my skillset and tools big time! I can't wait to put into practice all that I'm learning. Check out my work so far and let me know if you'd like me to work for you!
Coming Soon!

We will cover the following topics:
In this example you will learn how to load and use fonts.
Step 1. Create the ActionScript 3
A simple class that registers two fonts (Arial normal and Arial bold).
AS3:
Step 2. Naming Conventions
In the example above we created a class that registered two fonts. Take note of the
[Embed()]
tag.
For this example we chose to use the property fontFamily
. This is much preferred over the property
fontName
. fontFamily
allows us to assign multiple fonts under one name, in this case "Arial"
and distinguish them by applying font properties such as weight or italics. By using fontFamily
we can
create a style sheet that uses a fontFamily
of Arial. We can also apply a font-weight: bold;
property to use the now embedded bold type. It is recommended that you compile the above ActionScript 3 into a swf
that matches the font name (in this case "Arial.swf" is preferred). This will help avoid confusion when using the font.
Step 3. Create the FXML
First we load the swf "Arial.swf". By loading the font it is already registered since we called the
Font.registerFont()
in the ActionScript 3. Once the org.fxml.loaders.BulkLoader
completes
the loading, we can simply use the font by creating a flash.text.TextField
object, setting the
embedFonts
equal to true
and then setting the font
property to "Arial"
on the defaultTextFormat
object on the flash.text.TextField
!
Step 4. Using Stylesheets
We saw how to add CSS with the
org.fxml.loader.BulkLoader
in the previous lesson
Lesson 8. The BulkLoader. Now let's look at how we can combine
a style sheet with a font SWF.


"Sancha" is a web-based application.We often pondered over the jeopardy incumbent upon client's organization/department as they faltered while creating its website/s-due to incoherence and incongruity of website components with respect to the requirements.Our team, resolved to offer a solution to this problem.In this epiphany of sorts,we embarked upon creating a product that would act as a "Sancha" (mould) that would aid clients(individuals,groups or organisations) to seamlessly carve out impactful,comprehensive and visually alluring websites with components according to client's taste and/or requirements. Basically,even a non-technical person can create his/her own website without getting interacted with the source code!


Wrap the dropdown’s toggle (your button or link) and the dropdown menu within .dropdown
, or another element that declares position relative.
Dropdowns can be triggered from link or button elements to better fit your potential needs.
Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropup class to the parent element.
Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropright class to the parent element.
Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropleft class to the parent element.
By default, the dropdown-toggle has a caret, you can remove it by adding the .no-caret
class.
Enable toggle behaviour by hovering, this will work on large devices and above, and disabled on mobile devices because it's do not work well on touch screen devices.
Add submenu in dropdown-menu, submenus will appear when hovered.
Add active class to items in the dropdown to style them as active.
Add disabled class to items in the dropdown to style them as disabled.
Add a header to label sections of actions in any dropdown menu.
Separate groups of related menu items with a divider.
Place any freeform text within a dropdown menu with text and use spacing utilities. Note that you’ll likely need additional sizing styles to constrain the menu width.
Put a form within a dropdown menu, or make it into a dropdown menu, and use margin or padding utilities to give it the negative space you require.
